Ordering new checks from ads - question

I usually order new checks from my bank, but am trying to cut costs (They run around $38 for 4 sets of checks).  I see these ads in my Sunday paper for ordering checks (at a fraction of the price) and am wondering if anyone uses these and if they are safe to order from.  Thanks  in advance!

I got my checks from Checks Unlimited, and I didn't have any problems, and they arrived exactly as how I wanted them, plus they were reasonably priced.

I've wondered the same thing, so I'll be interested in the replies you get.

I've had no problem with ordering checks from ads. I have, however switched over to Current because of their selection.

I have ordered from Checks Unlimited probably 5 times in 5 years, and they are great.  Good service, checks are accurate, low prices, and speedy service.  I would definitely recommend them.

I've ordered checks from Checks Unlimited, Artistic Checks and even Walmart.  No problems ever.

 

I never order them from the bank. They are too expensive.

 

My husband's bank supplies his checks.  He can use the carbon checks and use as many as he needs.  That's nice.  He pays a $9 monthly fee, but that includes paper statements which we need.

 

We bank seperate, so my bank does not supply checks.

I've always ordered from ads and never had a problem.  Sams Club also has checks to order.

Has anyone used Stylechecks?  They are really inexpensive - $14 for 4 boxes (duplicates).  Seems to be a secured site.

I am more comfortable ordering my checks from Costco or Sam's Club (I usually order from Costco).  Their prices are also much cheaper than what the banks charge and I trust them a little bit more (perhaps unreasonably so but I do).

Also, I can deal with them locally if there ever is a problem and I need help with it as opposed to some place only mail order.
